Are you worried about losing your job? David Brooks might have the answer for you. In his latest New York Times op-ed entitled "The New Romantics in the Computer Age," Brooks would have us know:
"Secure workers will combine technical knowledge with social awareness — the sort of thing you get from your genes, from growing up in a certain sort of family and by widening your repertoire of emotions through reflection, literature and a capacity for intimacy."
Ah yes, reflection, literature and intimacy. But before spending time on weekend retreats and ordering some new novels from Amazon, you might want to exchange a few words with empathetic former employees of Kodak and Blockbuster.
Baby, it's cold out there!
